The purpose of this research is to analyse the pragmatic development of language groups at different proficiency levels and to investigate the relationship between interlanguage pragmatics and grammatical competence. For this study, 36 native Spanish speaking EFL learners at different proficiency levels were asked to respond in English to 24 different situations that called for the speech acts of request and apology. Results showed three important aspects. The first finding suggested that basic adult learners possess a pragmatic knowledge in their L1 that allows them to focus on the intended meaning and, in most cases, to assemble an utterance that conveys a pragmatic intention and satisfies the communicative demands of a social situation. The second finding revealed that there are two essential conditions to communicate a linguistic action: the knowledge of the relevant linguistic rules and the knowledge of how to use them appropriately and effectively in a specific context. The findings further suggested that advanced learners possess the grammatical knowledge to produce an illocutionary act, but they need to learn the specific L2 pragmatic conventions that enable them to know when to use these grammatical forms and under which circumstances.

Una realidad en innumerables realidades por Blas Alberto Camilo, narra las epopeyas de seres planetarios, universales, galácticos, anti galácticos, infernales, dioses, semidioses y animales cósmicos entre otras cosas. Como la reencarnación de Fidel Castro (Spartaco): "ningún hombre amo más a sus semejantes como el propio semejante". La odisea de El Delai Lama, el monje que huye de los cheletos. Habla sobre la reencarnación de Lucifer en la persona de Geoge Walker Bush, que es el mismo Gautama Siddharta y personaje central de la real historia de la caída en una realidad en el mundo astral. Nos habla de personalidades ricas y famosas en diferentes círculos sociales. Hace una advertencia del corto tiempo que nos resta en este mundo señalándonos hacia donde iremos al revelar lo que sucedió en el Sinai en los tiempos de Moisés que a todos nos concierne ya seamos judíos, musulmanes, hindúes, católicos, mormones, sijes, o pertenecientes a cualquier centro religioso o no.

Explorando las relaciones intradiscursivas: Un enfoque multidimensional takes a multifaceted approach to provide a complete and integrative analysis of intra-discursive relationships. This edited collection approaches intra-discursive relationships from different discursive dimensions (such as informative, argumentative, or modal) which influence the construction of the text to identify common and functional relationships to any type of discourse. Covering a wide range of topics from multiple perspectives, the volume arrives at a global, multidimensional, and integrated vision that allows the study of relationships to be defined without apriorism or exclusions.Drawing on real texts from various corpora of Spanish, the contributions explore the connections between the basic units of the text in order to construct a linguistic model that goes beyond the sentence level. This research offers both general and focused studies on specific phenomena of great interest within a well-constructed and comprehensive framework. This innovative volume is ideal for researchers and teachers of discourse analysis, linguistics, and Spanish as a foreign language. Additionally, Explorando las relaciones intradiscursivas complements undergraduate and graduate studies in pragmatics and linguistics. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Explorando las relaciones intradiscursivas: Un enfoque multidimensional adopta un enfoque poliédrico para ofrecer un análisis completo e integrador de las relaciones intradiscursivas. Los diferentes trabajos que componen esta obra abordan las relaciones intradiscursivas desde diferentes dimensiones discursivas (como la informativa, la argumentativa o la modal) que influyen en la construcción del texto para identificar las relaciones entre enunciados que subyacen a todo tipo de discursos. La obra abarca un amplio abanico de temas y permite el diálogo de diferentes modelos de análisis. Se ofrece así una visión global, multidimensional e integrada que permite definir el estudio de las relaciones sin apriorismos ni exclusiones. A partir de textos reales procedentes de diversos corpus del español, las contribuciones exploran las conexiones entre las unidades básicas del texto, los enunciados, con el fin de construir un modelo lingüístico que vaya más allá del nivel oracional. Estas investigaciones ofrecen estudios tanto generales como centrados en fenómenos específicos de gran interés dentro de un marco bien construido y exhaustivo. Este innovador trabajo es fundamental para investigadores y profesores de análisis del discurso, lingüística y español como lengua extranjera. Además, complementa los estudios de grado y posgrado en pragmática y lingüística.

A veces se siente como si la vida sólo estuviera ahí para patearnos al suelo, y luego patearnos más para mantenernos en el suelo, ¿no? John se pregunta por qué no puede simplemente hacer todo lo que quiera, como su mejor amigo Henry lo hace. ¿Es acaso solamente el hecho de que Henry es asquerosamente rico? ¿O hay algo más en ello? Cansado de lo que él percibe como un sin fin de pérdida de tiempo, John decide salirse de la escuela, y perseguir sus sueños. Cómo muchos antes que él, John quizás se hubiera rendido después de no ver resultados. ¿Honestamente? Lo más seguro es que se hubiera rendido. No obstante, un búho curioso, notable, y raro lo encuentra. Y es este encuentro el que lanza a John a una aventura increíble para averiguar por qué la vida apesta tanto.
